Spring Hill’s Coop, Summit’s Horn earn state golf bids

Both players were the first from their respective schools to earn spots in the state tournament, which begins next Tuesday at Manchester.

Coop shot a 92 to edge Hickman County’s Madison Smith for the final individual spot. Horn finished just ahead of Coop by firing an 88.

Page’s Jessica Zweifel won low medalist honor with a 77 in the tournament, which was postponed by rain Monday.

“It was damp and cool, but I just had to get used to it,” said Zweifel, who shot a 78 in the District 11 meet last week at Henry Horton State Golf Course. “I had only one practice round on this course. It’s tricky. I just needed to know where to put my shots.”

A four-time District 11-A champ, Zwiefel will be in her fourth state tournament. She shot a 161 in the state meet last year, finishing in a tie for 11th place.

Hinson had the second best score among the girls, while Eagleville’s Brooklyn Snell (85) and Summit’s Horn (88) earned medals for being in the top four.

Lewis County’s girls and Cascade’s boys each qualified for next week’s TSSAA State Golf Tournament in Manchester by winning the Region 6-A/AA Tournament Tuesday at the Lawrenceburg Golf & Country Club.

Taylor Hinson’s 80 led the Lady Panthers to a team score of 184 and 10-stroke advantage over runner-up Eagleville.

Other team scores included Hickman County (197), Summit (209), Spring Hill (225) and Fayetteville (228).

BOYS

Cascade, Pimmental reign: Led by Jake Pimmental’s 75, Cascade was team champion with a 322, winning by 31 strokes.

Pimmental’s score was three shots by than East Hickman’s Zac Thomas. Joining Thomas for the state are Perry County’s Garrett Daniel (82), Giles County’s Thomas Lockridge (82) and Forrest’s Blake Tinsil (83).

Tansil earned the state spot by winning the first hole of a playoff with Cole Wade of Giles County.
